Radiation hydrodynamics

From MaRDI portal





This course of lectures presents the fundamentals of radiation hydrodynamics, both from theoretical and numerical points of view. Starting from the basic notions, the author derives thoroughly the transfer equation, discusses inertial-frame and comoving-frame forms of this equations derives the governing equations of radiation hydrodynamics and radiation diffusion, and finally discusses finite difference methods in radiation hydrodynamics. Some examples, mainly from astrophysics, illustrate the material. Contents: 1. Basic radiation theory; 2. The transfer equation; 3. Lorentz transformation of the transfer equation; 4. Inertial-frame equations of radiation hydrodynamics; 5. Comoving-frame equation of transfer; 6. Lagrangian equations of radiation hydrodynamics; 7. Radiation diffusion; 8. Shock propagation: numerical methods; 9. Numerical radiation hydrodynamics; 10. Adaptive-grid radiation hydrodynamics. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0901.00013].
